Our testing showed this high-end set's durability and continued comfort as it softens after washing. During our process, we evaluated the sheets' quality, texture, breathability, and value.Īfter testing numerous top options, we chose the Parachute Percale Venice Sheet Set as our favorite. To highlight the best percale sheets available, we researched and tested different sheets from all of the top brands, both in The Lab and at home. Percale sheets are typically made with cotton fibers, which lends additional cooling power to their naturally crisp and lightweight nature. "It’s woven tightly, but the nature of the over-under is going to allow for more airflow." She adds that other weave styles, such as a sateen finish, do not allow for as much airflow, because there are more fibers on the top of the weave, which also results in a higher thread count. "The percale weave is a basic over-under weave," says Anna Brakefield, co-founder of Red Land Cotton. That's right: Percale isn't actually a material or fabric, but rather a particular type of weave used to create lightweight, nicely breathable bedding. Percale sheets not only stand out for their cooling, perfect-for-summer qualities but also their durability, due of the nature of their weave.
